very good
This was my first softshell and I was lucky to get it right the first time! The fit is great and I bought it for the fact that it is wind/water resistant. It can get a a little warm if you are doing a lot of aerobic activity, so you need a moisture wicking layer underneath. The only improvement suggestion would be the addition of some pit-zips, which are hard to find on women's jackets anyway. It isn't terribly warm, and you may want to add a warm layer if you plan on wearing it in less than 30 degree weather. Otherwise, this is a great option if you are looking for a nice softshell!

VERY thin!
This is a very lightweight, thin jacket. The texture resembles that of 'press 'n seal' without the sticky side. I am 5'5" and 110lbs and I ordered a small...probably should have tried the XS because it was roomy and the sleeves were very long. The length of the small was good though. I stood outside for a minute in the wind and most of the wind came through. This jacket may be good for a light weight running jacket, but that's not what I need it for...I'm returning it.
